b1BANK Announces Plans to Relocate and Expand Downtown Lake Charles Banking Center
19 Enero 2023 - 2:00PM
b1BANK today announced plans to relocate its Ryan Street
location to a new building in downtown Lake Charles later this
year. The bank has been a part of the Lake Charles community since
2009.
“We have experienced significant growth in the Lake Charles
market and require a larger facility to better serve our current
clients’ needs and the community,” said Jeffrey Davis, market
president, b1BANK. “As we continue to grow, it is important that we
remain active in efforts to rebuild and revitalize downtown.”
The new b1BANK location will be 825 Ryan Street, currently an
empty lot due to past hurricane damage, a short distance from the
bank’s current location on Ryan Street. Plans for the new location
include additional parking, a drive-thru service option and an
Interactive Teller Machine (ITM) which will provide clients with
access to a live teller before and after normal business hours.
“The building design will reflect some of the historic
architecture of the downtown area,” said Matt Redd, developer, Redd
Properties. “We will also incorporate modern building technology to
help prevent damage from future storms.”
b1BANK and The Southwest Louisiana Economic Development Alliance
will announce a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony when
construction is complete.
